As a quality assurance engineer, you should be able to identify the elements of a QA strategy quickly and easily. The assumption is that you've created these strategies yourself or have executed strategies created by other QA personnel. Providing an answer to this question will confirm to the interviewer that you have experience in this area and have performed this job in the past. Not being able to do this will be a red flag which the interviewer will use to disqualify candidates.

"A quality assurance test strategy includes several different elements. These include the purpose, a list of necessary resources, the scope of the testing, a schedule for test activities, the tools and test artifacts to be used in the QA process, a definition of which tests will take priority and can nullify other tests, and a comprehensive list of the types of tests to be performed. It will also include the steps to be taken when the tests identify deficiencies and contingencies if the tests cannot be performed or may impact the delivery schedule for the software."
